Why You Must Have Trust in Something

“You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” ~ Steve Jobs

As a business person, I have no doubt you read business books. Even if you don’t, I will advise you to start reading now. You are missing out on very valuable information which can help your business if you don’t read books. If you read, among the books you read, be sure there are books with information about successful entrepreneurs, books that are either written by them or written about them. One of my favorites is Steve Jobs, one of the big brains behind the development of Apple Computers. Mr. Jobs had an extraordinary approach to business, life and living, the reason I believe he achieved so much in the short period he lived. He trusted his instincts, his ability and above all his capability. There was no stopping him whenever he had a gut feeling he was onto something great as an inventor and innovator. The string of successes Apple Computers recorded in its early years is a great testimony to Mr. Jobs abilities. He always had absolute trust in “something.”

In your own business, even if the thing you have absolute trust in is just yourself, you can achieve many feats in the business with that trust as the driving force. You can never be let down if you have full trust in yourself and the fate the get things done. That is the way to go.

Get busy right now because…. “No pains, no gains. To get the prize, you must pay the price.”

Always Think and Dream Big

“Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss it you will land among the stars.” –Les Brown

“Whatever the mind of a man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”-- Napoleon Hill

All through civilization, those who have made the most difference are those who started as dreamers. They dreamed and acted on their dreams and the world has never been the same again. “The greatest achievement was at first, and for a time, a dream.” If you dream big, you achieve big. Many dreamed what may have been at the time taken as impossible dreams but with the help of man’s creative imagination, the impossible became the possible. The story is now being told all over the world how Henry Ford who was born in 1863 in a farm near Dearborn, Michigan, USA started the Ford Motor Company. He was a mechanic and dreamed of one day building a “horseless wagon” and mass-producing it. This appeared then to be an impossible dream because all forms of transportation were mostly by horse-drawn carriages. He followed up this dream by experimenting at his leisure hours. By 1893, he completed the construction of his first automobile. By 1903, Ford Motor Company was born and his dream of “belting-the-earth” with automobiles began. This led to the production of the popular Ford Model T. By 1927, about 15 million of the cars had been sold. The impossible had become the possible and Mr. Ford became very wealthy as a result. It is pertinent to mention that Mr. Ford had limited education, was of average intelligence and just as human as you and I.



Any successful venture began as an idea. Dreams metamorphose into ideas. It takes just one good idea followed by action to change your life forever. Just think about it. Is it money, power or happiness you want? Anything, all you need is to think about it. Put your mind to it and follow through with action. You can never miss the mark. We are what we think, period! A long time ago, my favorite poet Walter D. Wintle captured it all perfectly in the following verses.

 “If you think you are beaten, you are,
If you think you dare not, you don’t.
If you like to win but you think you can’t,
It is almost certain you won’t.
If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost.
For out of the world we find,
Success begins with a fellow’s will—
It’s all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed, you are.
You’ve got to think high to rise.
You’ve got to be sure of yourself before
You can ever win a prize.
Life’s battles don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man,
But soon or late the man who wins
 Is the man WHO THINKS HE CAN.”



 “One small step for man and one giant leap for mankind”, these were the words of Neil Armstrong an American astronaut and the first man to walk on the moon. This was in July 1969, a few years after President J. F. Kennedy who before his unfortunate assassination in 1963, sent notice to the world that America will put a man on the moon within 10 years. Today, man practically “lives” on the moon, thanks to the great American dream. You too can dream, act and be someone.
